Check that the player uses the expected playlist input and that the private URL was copied completely. Confirm ordinary internet access on the same device, then refresh the playlist once. Distinguish failure to import the list from entries that load but will not play; those observations point to different stages of the setup.
Why it matters
A truncated URL, accidental space or incorrect login mode can prevent import. A list can also load successfully while individual media sources fail. Repeatedly replacing the account profile can obscure that distinction and remove favourites.
Work through the steps
- Compare the saved URL with the private delivery message, including its final characters.
- Check device connectivity using another ordinary app.
- Refresh through the player’s playlist control and note the exact import error.
What to avoid
The useful takeaway
Do not paste a private playlist into a public URL checker or forum. If the list still fails, send support the player name, error and account reference without publicly exposing credentials. An app licence does not repair an incorrect source URL.
